Chapter 223

"Lun Grassland! This grassland is vital to the entire Tuermuhe River!"

"If this river channel is cut off, the Xiongnujiang Society will lose fully one-third of their grassland area!"

"Moreover, even without a grain route, relying on the lush grass of Lun Grassland, they can attract vast herds of wild cattle and sheep!"

"With so many wild cattle and sheep, what need do they have for grain!"

"These wild cattle and sheep are enough to feed their hundred thousand men for a year!"

"And if we abandon this place, they will take Li Yuanba and continue to cut off the river!"

"By then, we will never have another chance to kill Li Yuanba!"

He shouted aloud. At that moment, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu and Xiang Yu both suddenly understood!

Indeed!

It is exactly as Fan Zeng said!

Once they occupy Lun Grassland, there will truly be no chance left to kill Li Yuanba!

But at the same time, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu began to frown: "If that is the case, does that not mean Han Xin and Li Yuanba cannot be separated?"

"If the two sides fight a decisive battle at Lun Grassland, with Li Yuanba present, can we win?"

Fan Zeng said: "Indeed so, but there is no other way!"

"However... even with Li Yuanba, we are not necessarily doomed to lose!"

"This... why?"

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu was stunned!

Fan Zeng pointed at the map and said:

"Here!"

"This is a swampy area!"

"As long as we set an ambush here, then... Li Yuanba and Han Xin's hundred thousand soldiers will very likely all be destroyed here!"

"That brat Han Xin, seeing through my scheme is impressive, but... he is far too bold!"

"He is actually bold enough to dare to cross this swamp!"

"We must go there now!"

"We must reach this place before Han Xin and set the ambush in advance!"

He shouted.

At that moment, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu was shocked.

He could not help but nod.

At this moment, he admired Fan Zeng even more.

This man is indeed quick-witted!

He was in awe of Fan Zeng's wisdom!

But Fan Zeng looked at the army marching ahead and shook his head again:

"Marching like this will not work; the target is too large, and the speed is too slow!"

"We must spread out and dispatch as many Ma Pi as possible!"

"Even if we use tens of thousands of men, as long as we occupy Lun Grassland and the swamp first, it counts!"

"In short, we absolutely cannot let Han Xin arrive here first!"

"This place is very likely the final battle between the Xiongnujiang Society and the Central Plains!"

He shouted loudly.

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu hesitated for a brief moment, then directly did as he said!

Instantly, tens of thousands of soldiers rode fast horses straight toward the direction of Lun Grassland!

On the grain route between the Great Qin and the Xiongnujiang Society!

At this very moment, many experts from the Central Plains were complaining!

"What Fan Zeng? He thinks he is very smart, but what use is it?"

"He said Li Yuanba would surely come, but has Li Yuanba come~"

"Where has he come to?"

"That Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu is also the same; he didn't even figure out Fan Zeng's background before rashly listening to him!"

"No wonder... no wonder he was chased and beaten by Han Xin's hundred thousand men; he is stupid enough!"

Another person laughed: "Is that not how the Xiongnujiang Society are? They do not read the works of the Hundred Schools of Thought, they cannot read characters; they are like ignorant and foolish farmers, possessing only the courage of a brute, so are they not stupid?"

"Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu is merely a tribal leader; he is not at all to be feared!"

"Speaking of which, I just want to laugh!"

"Ying Zheng built the Great Wall, and it was to guard against these barbarians?"

"Is that funny or not?"

"Han Xin's hundred thousand men beat the Xiongnujiang Society into this state; why not just send Wang Jian with two hundred thousand men to annihilate the Xiongnujiang Society?"

"Still build the Great Wall?"

"It is truly funny!"

Another person waved his hand and said: "The tyrant Ying Zheng built the Great Wall merely for grandiosity, to satisfy his own selfish desires!"

"What use is building the Great Wall? It is completely superfluous!"

The crowd waved their hands and laughed, thinking the Xiongnujiang Society were completely not to be feared.

But just then, suddenly, Xiongnu cavalry rode over quickly, shouting with open mouths: "The King has an order! Commanding you to quickly proceed to Lun Grassland; Li Yuanba will surely be there!"

"What?"

"Li Yuanba must be there?"

The moment the words left his lips, countless people froze.

But in the blink of an eye, they laughed again: "Didn't that Fan Zeng say to come here and kill Li Yuanba?"

"Now he wants us to go to Hulun Grassland?"

"Where exactly is Li Yuanba?"

"Does anyone need to ask where Li Yuanba is?"

"Of course, he's in Han Xin's military camp!"

The crowd burst into unrestrained laughter.

Countless Xiongnu soldiers, hearing their words, ground their teeth in fury.

They truly wanted to slice them down one by one and slaughter them all!

Let it be known, this was an order issued by the supreme Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu of the Xiongnu!

In the eyes of the Xiongnu people, an order from Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu was the Mandate of Heaven!

Once an order is delivered, even if you are defecating, you must immediately stop, pull up your trousers, and execute the order!

Yet this group was chatting and laughing, showing not the slightest sign of urgency.

They were truly furious.

However, fortunately, among these people, there were those who understood the bigger picture!

The Mohist Master and Dong Jun immediately organized them, urging them to move quickly and not delay the critical mission of killing Li Yuanba!

After much persuasion, the crowd finally set off at a leisurely pace!

Seeing this pace of travel, the Xiongnu soldiers grew even angrier, shouting out Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu's orders again, declaring the matter was of utmost urgency!

Telling them to hurry up!

"Alright, alright!"

The crowd shook their heads, but in the end, they did increase their speed!

At that moment, horses galloped across the grassland!

Everyone marched toward Hulun Grassland!

Finally, after five days, all the people from the Central Plains arrived at Hulun Grassland!

It was not only him!

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu, Fan Zeng, and the large group of soldiers who had ridden horses earlier had all arrived.

Gazing at the endless grassland, Fan Zeng let out a long sigh of relief at that moment.

"We have finally arrived ahead of schedule!"

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu looked toward Fan Zeng:
